My recommendations to ensure a long lasting transmission:
– Never let your ATF get dark brown or black in color
– Never let your ATF level get too high or too low
– Do a single 3 quart ATF drain and fill once every 15,000 miles
– Replace the ATF Filter once every 30,000 miles

I have a 2008 Accord with 75K miles. I'm the first owner. Never did a transmission flush on it. I heard Honda transmission are picky. I seen many videos. Each one is a little different. I heard to do a flush. I'll have to go through 9qts. Some said no just take 3/4 out and add to it. So can you please tell me the proper way to do it? Anyone?

Hey my car is the same color year with leather interior but I'm having shifting issues sometimes it goes into gear and sometimes the car doesn't want to go reverse or forward but when it does it drives beautifully should I checked the trans solenoid first ?

I also have a 2003 TL (base) and although this does not pertain specifically to the subject of this video I wanted to comment anyways as I've grown tired of sifting through all the noise on forums. I was lucky enough to have my factory transmission make it to 200K before needing a rebuild but after putting another 50K on it I've begun to run into some issues. It seems the transmission is no engaging 3rd gear on a 2-3 shift or on during throttle application after coasting in 3rd. This doesn't happen constantly but it happens in single instances once or twice a week (early enough to where i hope it is more a symptom than a problem). I've done plenty of research on this transmission and the countless number of failure modes (transmission filter both internal and external, 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches, screen filters to CPC solenoids, the CPC solenoids themselves, the shift solenoids, internal blockages in the valve body) to no avail. I have yet to get a CEL/TCM error but I'm afraid that will be too late. If you don't want to go down this rabbit hole I understand, just looking for someone to bounce ideas off I guess. Thanks in advance.

Why is it that other cars are easier? Other videos I've seen just involved lifting up the car, removing, the pan, and then changing the filter. Acura seems more of a process. I push on the gas and my car sometimes doesn't move so I assume this is the problem because my fluid is brown

Hi, good to see your TL-S again! Mine is exactly the same color and they are so beautiful! I am curious about how you deal with the radio issue after disconnect battery? Mine needs disconnecting antenna connector to input radio code, which requires take apart so many things. That really sucks. Let me know if you have any suggestion.
